1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Peanut and rapeseed oil, prominent edible oils in China, significantly contribute to greenhouse gas and reactive nitrogen emissions. A comprehensive examination of their environmental footprints is foundational for developing green and low-carbon products. Using a cradle-to-factory gate life cycle assessment, we quantified the carbon footprint (CF) and nitrogen footprint (NF) associated with the oil production of peanut and rapeseed from 2004 to 2023 in China. The results showed that peanut oil has a lower environmental impact than rapeseed oil, with a CF of 3,312.2 kg CO
